where the bloody hell ar'ya?..and ballerina and bows cushions..

Ok, I'll be honest..maybe I shouldn't.. but I think I will.

I've been avoiding.. my blog...leaving comments..cleaning my house...the gardening. I've been feeling pretty 'blah' lately.. if you know what I mean. (now she decides to feel blah, say my new followers!) I seem to have lost my mojo for everything these last few weeks.. and I don't know why. But I think I am on the mend now so thank goodness for that!

I did manage to make these cushions for the most wonderful and very patient lady named Linda from the USA. She described what she wanted and here they are....

The ends of the bows were gathered up a little to give a swag effect.

and here are some smaller cushions to compliment the larger one..

as you can see she loves ballerina's...and yes.. they are for her. I can't believe they are going all the way to the USA to grace her bedroom and as you can see she just adores pink!!

At the moment I am trying to organise Lisa's 18th birthday party which is on the 30th. She is having a country & western theme. She has the cutest little cowgirl outfit.. and as for me I was going to be Calamity Jane, but it just wasn't me.. I looked like I was in my pj's! So we decided in the end that I would dress up as a 'madam'!!!!!!

My dress is purple and black with a matching feathery thingy as a shawl,(forget what it's called) black lace gloves and a feather in my hair! Yep, I sure must have been crazy at the time, and am tempted to ring up and cancel the outfit but Lisa reckons I look 'awesome'.... and...and... all her friends' parents dress up.... so I HAVE to.... even if I am going to look like a slut. Yes, don't worry I'll post some pics and degrade myself.

Anyhoo... believe it or not she wants a tinkerbell cake.. something along the lines of this...

In a previous life (or so it feels that way) I used to make cakes as a hobby and even took out 2nd prize at an Easter Show once.. but that was about 14 yrs ago so I'm not sure if I've still 'got it'.

Ok.. I think I'll go now.. atleast you all know I'm still alive and kicking.

Glad you are back u have been missed! Love the cushions you certainly are extremely talented!Good luck with the party, my oldest is 18 next month.Not sure what we will do but your's sounds like it will be alot of fun!Happy EasterLucinda x

About Me

Hi, my name is Maryann (also known as Marion) and I love anything shabby, French or vintage! I love making over vintage lamps and making cushions, quilts and totes which I sell in my ebay store along with new & vintage home decor. I am also in the process of opening a real brick & mortar store which I am very excited about. I live on a 5 acre property in the southern highlands of NSW Australia. I do love my garden and have about 25 different roses. I have 3 wonderful children aged 27, 23 and 18. I am very much a home body and love to decorate my home, which is always a work in progress. Not long ago we added an extension to our home but I am still in the process of redecorating and making over furniture, painting it white for that lovely shabby look and adding a touch of french provincial aswell. Thanks for stopping by... Best Wishes! Maryann
